LEMON TREE
by Fool's Garden
/>I ________________________ here in the boring room.
I___________________________________ here.
It's just another rainy Sunday afternoon.
I miss the power.
I_____________________ my time, I got nothing to do.
I'd like to go out, __________________ a shower.
I______________________________________ around,
But there's a heavy cloud inside my head.
I______________________________________ for you.
I feel so tired, put myself into bed.
But nothing ever happens, and I wonder....
Well, nothing ever happens, and I wonder...
I_____________________________ around, in my car.
Isolation is not good for me.
I_____________________________________ too fast,
Isolation, I don’t want to sit on the lemon tree.
I______________________________________ too far.
I_____________________________ in the desert of joy.
I'd like to change my point of view.
Baby, anyhow I'll get another toy.
I feel so lonely, I ________________________for you.
And everything will happen and you wonder.
But nothing ever happens, and I wonder....
I wonder how, I wonder why,
I wonder how, I wonder why,
yesterday you told me about the blue, blue sky.
yesterday you told me about the blue, blue sky.
And all that I can see is just another lemon tree.
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon tree.
I________________________ my head up and down.
I________________________ my head up and down.
I____________________, ________________________,
I____________________, ________________________,
_____________________, _______________________,
_____________________, _______________________,
_____________________________ around.
_____________________________ around.
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon tree.
And all that I can see is just another lemon tree.
… And I wonder, I wonder…
Sing! Dah…DaRaRaRaDiRapDa
I wonder how, I wonder why
DaRaRaRaDiRapDa
yesterday you told me about the blue, blue sky.

And all that I can see and all that I can see, and all that I
can see is just a yellow lemon tree.
